We have been informed that an adult, white male with short blond hair and approximately 6 feet tall has allegedly approached east Norman elementary students after school and exposed himself to some students at bus stops. The Norman Police Department is aware of this situation and informs us the suspect was reportedly driving a newer red Chevrolet truck with "Jim's Mobile Auto" on the vehicle.

The safety and welfare of our students is always our top priority. Please discuss with your child the importance of being aware of his or her surroundings and of avoiding contact with any strangers in any situation outside of school. Using the buddy system at bus stops and while walking to and from school provides more protection for young children, and other stranger danger safety tips to stress to children include:

Never go anywhere with anyone unless your parents know who you are going with and where you are going.

Know your address and phone number.

If you are playing with friends at a park or other location and they leave, leave with your friends.

Try to always walk places with friends.

In any emergency, call 9-1-1.

Never be embarrassed to tell your parents, the police and your teacher about something you observed or that happened that you think was not right.

Please contact the NPD by calling 9-1-1 if you have any information that may be helpful to this investigation. Please also share any information you believe will be of assistance with your school's main office.
